Iran's Supreme Leader Warns US Against Renewed Attacks

Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned the United States on Saturday against renewed attacks between the two countries, issuing the statement via his Telegram channel amid growing speculation of a Middle East war resumption. Khamenei ordered senior military officials to retaliate without "geographic limits" to any American or Israeli attack, stating that "any level or type of threat must receive an immediate, powerful, and geographically unlimited response," according to the statement. The remarks came during Khamenei's first publicly reported meeting with top commanders, including armed forces chief Ali Abdollahi, army head Amir Hatami, and Revolutionary Guard commander Ahmad Vahidi. He also ordered updating target lists to include "all material and immaterial assets belonging to the American-Zionist enemy." The war began February 28 with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which retaliated against US-allied regional countries. A Qatari delegation arrived in Tehran Friday for talks after Iran received a letter from US Vice President JD Vance, though Tehran has not yet responded.
